Book Review: Ketogenic: The Science of Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction in Human Health

Congratulations to me! It’s only once in a blue moon that I get to read non-fiction books. Of course, this is totally by choice as I easily get bored with books that do not fantastically stimulate my imagination. But if you have been following my blog, you’d prolly read that I am on journey to a healthier lifestyle. And right now, I am a carnivore who just transitioned from a Ketogenic diet. And I am thanking the authors of this book for actually taking a lot of time, effort, and determination to create such a wonderful masterpiece. Before reading Ketogenic:…
